STH TZ 911: Doctoral Research Internship
All ThD and PhD students at STH are asked to fulfill a 180-hour research internship, and this can be fulfilled in any year of the doctoral program but normally prior to any teaching internships. The research internship affords the student a close mentoring relationship with a faculty member. The student is expected to provide research assistance to the faculty member while becoming apprenticed into the life and work of a teacher/researcher.
